@elite.recruiter: Even after 25 years in executive search, workplace politics still happen to me. And I think it is important you know that. Someone recently tried to quietly diminish my credibility behind my back. To my own team. In real time. Here is what I know after watching this play out across thousands of executive careers. Reputation compounds. So does trust. And so does the kind of behavior that mistakes politics for leadership. I have three options and I have not decided yet. Stay tuned because I promised I would tell you what I choose.

And this is why I will never ever be in a nonprofit ever again. Unfortunately these mission based companies are often managed poorly and bullies end up getting hired in very high positions and wreak havoc. Unfortunately leadership doesn’t care because they don’t care about people it’s about results.

I’m with you. We women achievers have learned to work in an environment that was built by men for men. We women need to rewrite the rules. Love your messages.

Wow! Your experience says it all. J is here today but will be gone tomorrow. J is not loyal.

That’s what happened to me. My job was “eliminated,” but the work wasn’t. The higher-level responsibilities and accountability simply transferred to lower-level leadership.

Yes, we can surely focus on the pattern, but if J already makes such a provocative statement, it means he’s testing your boundaries. Imo, controlled counterstrike (Strategy 3) is the most effective one.
